The second time around, you experience things differently than the first time, whether we’re talking about hearing a piece of music, watching a movie, reading an article or book, tasting an entree, falling in love, or whatever. That’s not good or bad. It just is.
When facing an ongoing health challenge, you can use that to your advantage by revisiting resources you bought or received when first diagnosed—especially those you liked. You may get more out of the insights and tips because you…
Are no longer in shock and can process information better.
Have a foundation of knowledge about the challenge.
Have personal experience with the challenge.
In addition to your different frame of mind and enriched frame of reference, your circumstances may have changed in ways that make the insights and tips more relatable or powerful.
As a Healthy Survivor, revisit useful resources from time to time. You may discover —or rediscover— gems that make life easier, safer, more meaningful, and happier.
